## How to increase screen resolution for macOS-Simple-KVM
# How to increase screen resolution for macOS-Simple-KVM

- Press `Escape` key as soon as the window comes up.
## Using Clover Configruator
1. Open Clover Configurator
2. Mount the **EFI** partition (Sidepanel -> "Mount EFI")
3. Load current clover config.plist (Sidepanel bottom, "load config" button -> navigate to `EFI/CLOVER/config.plist`)
4. Change screen resolution in GUI settings to preferred value (Sidepanel -> "Gui")
5. Save clover config.plist (Sidepanel bottom, "save config" button -> "save")
6. Shutdown the VM
# Step 2
Depending on your environment (plain qemu/virt-manager) mind or skip the steps annotated with QEMU or VIRT. Steps with no annotation must be performed either way.
- QEMU: Launch the VM using `basic.sh` script
- VIRT: Remove the USB Keyboard from the VM
- VIRT: Launch the VM
- Press `Escape` key as soon as the window comes up/machine is starting.
- In the interface that comes up, select `Device Manager`->`OVMF Platform Configuration`->`Change Preferred` and select the correct resolution.
- Press `F10` to save the changes.
- Press `Escape` multiple times to come back to main menu, and then select `Continue` on it.
- VIRT: Readd the USB Keyboard to the VM
- VIRT: It might be neccessary to perform a reboot to get the screen running properly
